A.E. Langsford – HMS Marathon – Uncorrected Proof Copy 1989
£35.00
An uncorrected proof copy of HMS Marathon by AE Langsford, published by Barrie & Jenkins, London in 1989. A near fine copy, some light creasing to the spine and lower corner of front cover, a small closed tear to the lower edge of rear cover.
HMS Marathon by A.E. Langsford is a gripping World War II naval thriller set in the Mediterranean during “Operation Stonehenge,” the vital convoy mission to relieve besieged Malta. Captain Robert Thurston—a seasoned, psychologically scarred officer—commands the cruiser Marathon through enemy torpedoes and air attacks. After suffering heavy losses and being crippled, the ship must limp to Alexandria, with men and machines pushed to breaking point. Amid battle fatigue and persistent danger, Thurston and crew face their most perilous trial.
